ISLANDERS SOFTBALL CONTINUES FALL SCHEDULE

The Texas
A&M-Corpus Christi softball team continued it's fall schedule
by holding scrimmages this past Saturday against Incarnate Word and
Alvin College.

On the
offensive side of the ball, the Islanders picked up where they left
off from the weekend of October 4th when they took on St. Mary's in
two scrimmages.

The Islanders
collected a total of 20 hits in the two games, continuing their
offensive explosion and giving the pitchers some run support to
ease their minds.

With that
easiness, the pitchers improved their performances from the
previous weekend and shut down the opposing offenses, allowing only
one run and seven hits in a combined 14 innings of action.

"I was glad to
see our pitching staff get on track after the first weekend's
shakiness." said Islander
head coach Jake Schumann.
"They worked hard all week and as a result, shut down two good
hitting teams."

The Islanders
also continued to improve defensively as the fall schedule
progresses.

"I was
impressed with the way we played defense." said coach
Schumann. "Our left side of
the infield made some really tough plays look routine."

With the
continued offensive outburst and the newly polished pitching and
defense, the Islanders look to be in good position heading into the
end of the fall schedule.

"At this point
of the fall, I like where we are as a team." said coach
Schumann. "I think our
girls are buying into out team' concept and rallying behind
one another."

With only one
more scrimmage against another team left on the fall schedule, the
Islanders look to work out any of the remaining flaws in their
game. TAMUCC takes on Texas
A&M-International with a start of 1 pm on Saturday, October
25th at Islander Field to wrap up the fall schedule.

"We are looking
forward to ending the fall schedule against A&M International
on the 25th." said
Schumann. "We will then
finish the fall refining our skills to prepare us for the opener in
Miami in February."
